The '''Foreign Minister''' is a position in the [[Royal Council]] of the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]] tasked with handling the [[Foreign Relations of Westarctica]].
#REDIRECT [[Foreign Minister]]


It is currently held by [[Count of Goldstream|Count Stefan of Goldstream]].


==History of the role==
[[Category:Redirect Pages]]
During the early days of [[Westarctica]], from 2001 - 2006, [[Grand Duke Travis]] eschewed the idea of anyone aside from himself handling the foreign affairs of Westarctica. Interacting with foreign leaders and representing Westarctica on the international stage was considered a core duty of the Grand Duke, as well as being one of his favorite parts of the job.
 
In 2006, after Travis abdicated the throne, his successor, [[Grand Duke Philip]] appointed [[Lovette Mott]] (who had previously held the post [[Minister of Theocratic Affairs]]) to the post of Minister of Affairs, which combined the duties of Foreign Affairs and the Interior. From this time forward, Lovette handled relations with other nations and pursued an aggressive outreach to protect Westarctica's interests.
 
In 2008, when [[Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence]] assumed the throne of Westarctica, few of the existing ministers of the [[Grand Ducal Cabinet]] remained in service to the crown and the Grand Duke himself once again handled foreign affairs. However, as the [[Siple War]] broke out, [[Duke of Waesche|Wolf Tulier]], the [[Minister of Defense]] attempted to fulfill the mission of the foreign ministry by negotiating with the various [[micronations]] allied against Westarctica.
 
==Creation of the office==
In 2018, after a significant increase in citizens and [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|nobles]] from German-speaking nations, [[Grand Duke Travis]] recognized the need for [[Westarctica]] to have an increased presence in international locations. As part of the effort to manage what was hoped to be a large network of international representatives and diplomats, the Grand Duke created the Foreign Ministry and appointed the [[Count of Goldstream]] as the first [[Foreign Minister]].
